How to import the translated PC version of Grandia 2 into the Dreamcast version?

Dreamcasts emulators on PC do not pay attention to the pointer, you know an emulator to test as if I was on the console?

Because on the PC with emulator it works, but on Dreamcast no ..

 

There is no way, only pay attention to the inspection

The bin program master file must be 4 byte aligned

 

OK.

I need your help this time very important..

I upload 2 files.

http://dragoncity17.free.fr/Grandia 2/2801 EN + FR.zip

2801-EN.AFS : it's ok
>> The TXT file
2801-FR.AFS : Doesn't work...
>> The TXT file

The code I use for convert maybe it's not perfect.. Gr2dump9.c

If you can tell me why it doesn't work I will appreciate !

 

1 first of all, the end of your file text is not aligned, causing the file to go wrong




2 text data can be put at the end of the file, the original address is changed to 00
I hack file，you can test it

 

Ok so How can I fix that for this file work?

Thank you really for your help!!

Thanks a lot for your help

I want to be sure to understand if we have this same problem later :
edit :
if we have keep the 00 00 else 01 01 as you shown, in the FR text file the alignment in the text file will be good ?
I see in your second picture a 01 at the middle . So we have to be carreful of this alignement data in the 01.bin of the afs file ?


I see you have change the lenght and the adress data at line 70 as you shown us at the first page. How have you calculate them ?

I just see your file, you have let the english text and add the french text and only the french text appears on screen ^^ What a wonderful skill you have

 

just amazing !! you are too strong .. I spent 3 days on it and I did not succeed or I had to delete some text ...

And it's crazy because in the same file you have english text and french text... whaouuuu !!

so can you tell us how you do that? Because maybe there is an other file like that?

And how find if an other file had the same problem.

Seriously without you we would never have succeeded you helped us a lot!

 

You need to change all of the data in English text to 00, because at some time the game will be black screen.

 

no，That's right. I just painted a rectangular box casually.

 

ok so how have you changed the error ? the length and the adress ?

Here the first true beta with all translating except the dialog at 51%

I wish to update my first post but... I don't know how I can do...

 

I was able to continue the game but again black screen with an other AFS ..

28F1 - EN.AFS > Original..work

How to hack directly AFS file without adding the part in English?

It's crazy because some files AFS no problem with the tool gr2dump9.exe,but sometimes like this there is a problem...

 

It looks 28xx.AFS series can't be dump like others AFS...

 

28F1 is standart AFS container

 

Well I succeeded for boot the file.. but after there is problem (no text and bug).. so I need your help again !

I take the AFS FR file that does not work.

I copy from \ at the end of the EN file (which works it's the original)




After I change the "Address"

For that I noticed that hex code is upside down.

So here it's CEC0.. so invert the code : C0CE




So this is doesn't work.. and very boring !

Can I modify directly the french AFS (28F1 - FR.AFS)?

28F1-FR.afs

 

I don't understand,I checked your 28F1 - FR.AFS and 28F1 - EN.AFS.. it's the same I uploaded ...

 

it's your unpacked afs files

 

Yes but I know make that since a long time ^^

 

Why don't you put the French documents at the end of the way I say? So you don't have to change the back pointer.

 

how do you calculate the length?


here it's 24 1B your hack file.
